| Recipient Org: Description | Dorothy House Hospice Care (DHHC) (Registered Charity Number 275745) is an independent hospice, established in 1976. We operate across a region of 700 square miles in Bath and North East Somerset (BaNES) and parts of Wiltshire and Somerset, and serve a population of 550,000. Our vision is to deliver ‘compassionate caring for our community, supporting patients and their families with life-limiting illness to live and die well’. Our specialist teams touch every part of our community, delivering healthcare, psychological, social and spiritual support, and all our care is free of charge. We employ a total of 429 full and part-time staff and have over 1,000 volunteers. Our hospice is in Winsley, Wiltshire with Inpatient Unit and Day Patient Services, but the bulk of our care is delivered in patients’ own homes, nursing and residential homes and the acute and community hospitals with which we work. We also have two Outreach Centres, in Peasdown St John and Trowbridge, and anyone affected by a life-limiting illness can drop in for a chat or advice and will be supported by our trained staff and volunteers. Patients can also access many DHHC services by appointment in the Outreach Centres, extending access and reducing travelling times. in FY 15/16, our total gross income (including trading income) was £11.1m and costs were £11.8m. We currently hold unrestricted and undesignated reserves of £6,661,858 which equates to 6.9 months of gross costs. This level of reserves is in line with charity guidelines and in accordance with the level set by the Dorothy House Hospice Care Board of Trustees. We received around £2.4m statutory funding, and raised over £4.5m from individuals’ lifetime gifts and legacies, a wide range of events, individual, community and corporate fundraising activity, applications to trust and grant making bodies and profit from a diverse retail operation. We spent £7.3m on patient care and education. All our care is free of charge. |
